I'm good that way.

Man on Fox Soccer Channel we always get the boring games, like Man U-Reading, or anything by Wigan, while we miss the more exciting games, such as Chelsea-Sunderland. Sunderland played spirited, as if they are aware that they play to avoid relegation this year.

*winces* that Reading match was not ManU's finest hour. They piled on the pressure, but as soon as Rooney was injured they just didn't have it. Besides, Reading's defense was a great strategy, to hold ManU to a draw.

Would like to have seen the Chelsea Sunderland match. That did look an interesting game judging from the highlights.

Hmm United were poor. We're lacking someone to lead the line. Saha's the only one who can play that role but he's made of glass. Tevez might be able to do it, but time will tell I suppose. I'm not convinced that he's good enough in the air. I can't believe we've spent £50 million over the summer and have to play John O'Shea up front. Ridiculous.

Anyone see Gerrard's stunner? Carragher handled the ball in the box, Villa tied it on the penalty and it looked like they were gonna drop points.

It was the first really spectacular Steven Gerrard goal I've seen since I started following the EPL. Of course, thanks to YouTube, which is ironically being sued by the FA, I've seen Gerrard's greatest hits, no pun intended.

no side is getting a worse return on investment than Spurs at the moment. what was it - 45 million and they lose their first two. and Everton owned them. woohoo!

still a bit nervous about my kids at the Grove though. oh well, win, lose, or draw i still thing wenger engineers the prettiest football around.

lookout123 · 08-15-2007, 04:46 PM

wow - ManUsa is off to a rough start. if only they'll let arsenal get out in front just a bit before they find their way...

DanaC · 08-15-2007, 04:55 PM

ManU had most of the possession and all the pressure was on the Portsmouth goal. It's that same old thing again though, just unable to finish.

Perry Winkle · 08-15-2007, 05:48 PM

Gooooo Newcastle! (I'm mandated to say this by law. I will be living adjacent to their home stadium starting in September.)

DanaC · 08-15-2007, 05:50 PM

*smiles* you'll be living next door to St James's aye?

So you are going to Newcastle University are you? A young friend of mine is at Newcastle Uni doing chemistry.

Where are you from Perry?

Yeah, hopefully I won't be on the side of the building directly facing the field.

I'm from the States, and will be doing my MSc in Computer Science. (You might remember me as another poster... I had a name change a while back.)

DanaC · 08-15-2007, 06:20 PM

*blinks* as in James Delphonse?

Ahhhhh grant! why the name change?

Perry Winkle · 08-15-2007, 08:27 PM

I was worried about someone finding some of the things I had posted here. Now things are at a point where none of that would matter. I thought about changing it back, but that might cause more confusion than I already have.
